[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides a technical solution, a large plate-type combined defogging and water-saving closed tower, comprising a box body 11 and a fan 1 arranged in the middle of the top surface of the box body 11, an air cooling module 2 is arranged at the openings on the top of the two side walls of the box body 11, and a mixer 4 is arranged between the two air cooling modules 2. An upper shutter 3 is arranged on the outer side of the air cooling module 2.

[0035] The evaporative cooling module 7 is horizontally arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the box body 11 , and both ends of the connecting pipe 5 are respectively connected to the output end of the air cooling module 2 and the input end of the evaporative cooling module 7 .

[0036] The spray pipe 6 is arranged above the evaporative cooling module 7 , and a plurality of spray heads for spraying toward the evaporative cooling module 7 are installed at the bottom of the spray pipe 6 .

[0037] The water collector 15 is disposed above the spray pipe 6 and below the bottom end of the air cooling module 2 .

[0038] The water pool 9 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 11 ; the water pump 10 is used to supply the water in the water pool 9 into the spray pipe 6 ; the lower shutter 8 is installed at the opening at the bottom of the side wall of the box body 11 .

[0039] The air cooling module 2 and the evaporative cooling module 7 are plate heat exchangers, respectively. The plate heat exchanger comprises a side box 12 and a header 13 arranged in parallel, and a plurality of plate-shaped shells 14 arranged in parallel and connected to the inner side walls of the side box 12 and the header 13 at both ends, a partition 12.1 parallel to the plate-shaped shell 14 is provided in the middle of the inner cavity of the side box 12, and an input port 12.2 and an output port 12.3 are connected to the outer side wall of the side box 12 corresponding to the positions on both sides of the partition 12.1.

[0040] In summary, when the fan 1 is started, a part of the outside air enters the bottom of the inner cavity of the box body 11 through the air inlet of the lower louver 8 and forms an upward wind flow; another part of the outside air enters the top of the inner cavity of the box body 11 through the air inlet of the upper louver 3 through the air cooling module 2, and finally the two parts of air are mixed and extracted through the fan 1. The water pump 10 draws spray water from the water pool 9 and supplies it to the spray pipe 6, and the nozzle at the bottom of the spray pipe 6 sprays on the plate-shaped shell 14 of the evaporative cooling module 7.

[0041] The medium to be cooled is connected to the input end of the air cooling module 2. The medium first exchanges heat with the air entering from the air inlet of the upper shutter 3 in the plate-shaped shell 14 of the air cooling module 2. The medium after air cooling then enters the plate-shaped shell 14 of the evaporative cooling module 7 through the connecting pipe 6. Since a uniform water film is formed on the outer wall of the plate-shaped shell 14 of the evaporative cooling module 7 after being sprayed, the water film evaporates continuously and absorbs the heat in the medium, so that the medium is further cooled. The medium after cooling is output to the next process through the corresponding output port 12.3 of the evaporative cooling module 7. Among them, when the medium passes through the plate heat exchanger, it first enters the cavity on one side of the side box 12 from the input port 12.2, then flows to the inner cavity of the header 13 through the channel in the corresponding plate-shaped shell 14, and then flows back to the cavity on the other side of the side box 12 through the channel in another part of the plate-shaped shell 14, and finally flows out from the output port 12.3. An air channel is formed between two adjacent plate-shaped shells 14.

[0042] Most of the spray water sprayed from the spray pipe 6 falls back into the water pool 9 for recycling. The air entering through the air inlet of the lower louver 8 forms saturated wet air after passing through the spray area; when the saturated wet air flows upward through the water collector 15, water droplets are removed. The saturated wet air after water removal passes through the mixer 4 and is mixed with the air passing through the air cooling module 2. The relative humidity of the mixed wet air is reduced, and the saturated air becomes unsaturated air. This part of the mixed air is finally discharged through the fan 1.

[0043] When the ambient temperature is low, the water pump 10 can be turned off to achieve waterless dry operation to meet the temperature reduction and cooling requirements.

[0044] The plate-shaped shell 14 is made of heat-conducting materials such as stainless steel and heat-conducting plastic. The wall of the plate-shaped shell 14 is set in a wave shape or a pattern is set on the wall to increase the heat exchange contact area and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0045] The output end of the fan 1 is connected to a kinetic energy recovery type air duct.

[0046] See also Figure 3 For the plate heat exchanger, it can also include a plurality of parallel plate shells 14, in which a folded channel is provided, and the plates are patterned. The two ends of the folded channels in the plurality of plate shells 14 are combined into the inlet and outlet of the cooled medium, and the adjacent sides of the cooled medium channels of the plates are spray water and air channels, which are arranged crosswise.
